Ten businesses and organisations across the country have found that saving a few pennies makes good sense as they are announced winners of an exclusive Croxley promotion run by OfficeMax.
Taking home $1,000 each in prize money, the winners simply purchased a Croxley postage-included product from OfficeMax between 9 April to 17 June. A winner was drawn each week for ten weeks.
OfficeMax Country Manager for New Zealand, Dean Butchers, said that the promotion was a reminder to customers that postage was scheduled to rise by up to 16 per cent from 1 July.
“OfficeMax took note of the increased demand with the last price rise and ensured adequate stock
was available for the 1 July postage increase. We saw the competition as a good way to remind customers to stock up and potentially save some money,” Dean said.
“People are particularly keen to make their dollar go further, especially in the current financial climate.
A saving of up to 16 per cent is significant, especially given many of our small business customers need to post multiple items around the country every day.
“The winners have used the prize money for a variety of things including staff incentives, donations to
charities and to subsidise excursions for children and their families which was really heartwarming,” he said.
The winners were:
- Bush Road Medical Centre, Whangarei
- Maidstone Veterinary Clinic, Upper Hutt
- Lumio Dental Group Dinsdale, Hamilton
- Barltrop Graham Feilding
- M B Cook & Co, Christchurch
- Auckland Air Conditioning Ltd Takapuna, Auckland
- Bayleys Real Estate Albany, Auckland
- Betta Net Products Manukau, Auckland
- Royal NZ Plunket Society National Office, Wellington
